Geoapify sells credits; one credit is one simple request, so its numbers here are the most requests a plan allows. A dash means we found no such feature. Sources: geoapify.com/pricing, pricing details, routing docs.
Which one fits
If your app searches addresses, draws isochrones or needs base map tiles, Geoapify has those and we do not.
Running Cat Geo API fits apps about places and routes outdoors: Overpass QL queries with your own key, water and food along a route, marked trails, gravel and hiking routes, and the weather, air and rivers around them, for less per request.
